Nigerian Netflix subscribers will be able to stream Thin Line beginning Independence Day, October 1. Produced by Mercy Aigbe and directed by Akah Mason, the two-hour thriller explores the moral dilemmas confronting individuals in positions of power and trust.

 

Thin Line opened theatrically on December 13, 2024, earning ₦28 million  in its debut weekend—including ₦4 million from weekday previews. Competing with major titles such as Kraven the Hunter (₦26m), Moana 2 (₦27.9m), and Everybody Loves Jenifa (₦190m), the film went on to close its theatrical run in February 2025 with just over ₦135 million.

The story follows Pastor Raymond Njoku (Uzor Arukwe), a respected marriage counselor whose life unravels after an affair with Annie (Uche Montana), a prostitute. When Annie is found dead, Raymond becomes the prime suspect, but a shocking twist reveals the true culprit—driven by jealousy after discovering Annie’s pregnancy.
